A Study Of
We no longer live alongside the animal; the reduction of the animal began in the 19th Century during the Industrial Revolution. During this period, slaughterhouses were moved to the exterior of the city, zoos were created and hunters began to bring taxidermy specimens home. The animal was being recontextualised in the sense that it was being killed and taken from the wild, resurrected by the process of taxidermy and then placed in an entirely new environment be that the home of a hunter or a museum display. By recontextualising the already recontextualised and marginalised animal, the sometimes-surreal images force the viewer to reconsider the animal and how we use and display it.
